Default Do 33-34 pickup trucks have rear view mirrors?

Does not seem to have original holes for a mirror?

Best to my knowledge is no. My 38 truck did not either. Seen many adapt one. .... edited here, At best it had a drivers side mirror. (thanks david)


Mack Hils: ford pickups 1932-1952 is a decent reference. It can be found cheaper.

They all had an outside mirror attached to the upper door hinge, same as the '32s. There was no inside mirror, just like the station wagons.

I believe this was the hinge pin mirror used on the pickup truck.

Either picture is reversed or mirror is on opposite side as posted. Otherwise that looks to be it, I think ?

That is the bracket used starting in 1935. The 32-34’s used a short straight stem mirror. They are quite hard to find these days

Here are some photos of the outside rear view mirror that was on my '34 Pickup. I am currently using a chromed reproduction painted black.

On the angled lip above the windshield there are a string of pre-drilled holes that I mounted a rear-view mirror from my '28 Model "A" open phaeton. It has just the right amount of angle and length from the bracket to fit the same eye vision for seeing straight out the back window. I will try to post a picture.

Perhaps a previous owner drilled the holes but I have mounted my mirror and air-conditioner from the header brace. It's a mirror used on the "open" Model "A"s and I can see just fine outside the rear window. The black mounting bracket comes curved to fit the windshield frame but I straightened it out in my vice.
